Literature - what's on
Literature events and activities in Lambeth.
Many literary events are run in our libraries, all year round.
LIVE Magazine
LIVE Magazine is a magazine that is written, designed, photographed and illustrated entirely by Lambeth and Lewisham young people under 22. It is distributed to the same age group throughout the two boroughs.
The magazine is always looking for volunteers under the age of 22 who are interested in writing, photography or design.
They will pair volunteers with a range of professional mentors(photographers, journalists, designers) and send them to events and some external courses. A few young people will also have the chance to do accredited courses.

- Increasing networking opportunities between culturally diverse artists and communities and mainstream arts organisations and venues.
